Metasurface: microwave frequency selective surface (FSS)

12GHz bandstop FSS: periodic metal cross array on dielectric substrate. Excited by a plane wave at incidence theta: normal incidence simulates a quarter unit cell with symmetry boundaries, oblique incidence one unit cell with periodic (Bloch) boundaries. Compare with Tidy3D example

Setup
